Unicorn
Gleam of glitter through the dark night forest,
short shallow snorts echo throughout the trees,
the fast clunk of hoofbeats
danger is in the air,
the hunters are close behind, following an unbelievable extinct secret,
all are waiting,
all are watching,
as golden hooves and silken mane dart between life and death,
suddenly a light flares with a magnificence that has never been seen,
at once all are silent,
time has stopped,
magic has stiffly filled the air and disappearance has repeated itself again,
mystery and magic were pursued that night, but neither was revealed.
